Description
The year is 238 AED. When WWIV ended, society decided to split all people into two groups: Moderns, who were genetically modified and made beautiful, gifted in math and science and many other talents, and Obsoletes. Obsoletes were the humans of the past, believed to be untalented, plain looking, and destined to work for their wages. Alouette is different. She is an Obsolete, a 16 year old house maid working for a family of Modern aristocrats, however she is anything but untalented. Her fingers flow, that is her talent. If she ever gets the chance to sit at a piano, her fingers will fly with reckless abandon and no notes to follow. If she is given a violin, she will play until her fingers bleed. And it is beautiful. But in a world where any Obsoletes with even a hint of talent are publicly executed, how will she spark the rebellion that's brewing in her if all the other Obsoletes are too afraid to join her? That is, until she meets Jonah.
